(Fresno, CA) The accident happened at around 11:20 a.m. when a Jeep Liberty was traveling eastbound on Highway 180 at a high rate of speed. For reasons unknown, the driver crossed the double yellow line directly into the path of a Chevy truck.
The driver of the Jeep Liberty, a 33-year-old man from Fresno, was ejected from the vehicle due to not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene. A minor passenger in the Jeep suffered very serious injuries and was airlifted to a local hospital. After a few hours, the 13-year-old girl was pronounced dead.
On the other hand, the driver of the Chevy truck, identified as Christopher McAlster, a 44-year-old Woodlake resident, was taken to the hospital after suffering moderate injuries to his lower extremities. He was traveling with two passengers at the time of the accident, a 16-year-old teenager and a 4-year-old child, who did not sustain serious injuries and were wearing seatbelts.
